This two-year, $262,952 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Computer and Network Systems, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), will support the development of a hybrid-architecture symbolic parser and neural lexicon system (HASPNEL) at the University of Puerto Rico. HASPNEL uses a feature-unification parser and structure generator encoded with symbolic AI to judge whether an utterance is grammatical and detect ambiguity at...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $104,114 to Haverford College to conduct research on the mechanisms underlying human language learning. The research aims to better understand how people construct mental representations of words and learn the morphological and phonological patterns that govern language. The project will develop interpretable computational models and algorithms...
This $449,275 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to advance the scientific understanding of human language processing and change. The project, led by the University of California, Davis (UC Davis), combines expertise from linguistics, psychology, and computational approaches to investigate how language users integrate general language constraints and verb-specific preferences...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $160,000 in funding to support an early career scientist developing a framework for process-level models of human language comprehension. The goal is to bridge the gap between human language behavior and computational models by analyzing incremental language processing behavior, particularly in response to imperfect input, and implementing models to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $106,179 to the University of Arizona to advance the development of technologies that support documentation and revitalization of endangered indigenous languages. The project aims to build capacity and infrastructure to create effective, durable, and appropriate language-related technologies within indigenous communities. Key products and services include:...
This $353,434 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative research project to investigate semantic priming effects - how recognizing one word can aid in recognizing related words - across 45 languages. The researchers at Harrisburg University of Science & Technology will build a large-scale dataset to compare human language processing to artificial intelligence language models. The...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Computing and Communication Foundations provides $499,821 to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) from October 2021 through September 2024. The funding supports research to develop hybrid natural language processing and formal techniques for synthesizing assertions and identifying ambiguities from English text. The work...
This three-year National Science Foundation project grant of $439,222 will fund research into the typology of subordinate clauses across languages at the University of Rochester from August 2022 to July 2025. The project has two main components. The first is a large-scale data collection effort using novel elicitation methods to study subordinate clause inferences in an under-resourced language. The second develops a computational model to identify semantic predicate classes across unrelated...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) Project Grant awarded to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, will develop five new Universal Dependencies (UD) corpora of endangered languages totaling at least 30,000 tokens each. The $139,306 award, spanning August 2023 to July 2026, will produce: (1) freely-available, fully-annotated treebanks for quantitative linguistic analyses and natural language...
The University of Arizona will receive $310,982 from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program to develop resources and algorithms for understanding negation in language from October 1, 2022 to April 30, 2024. Under the Project Grant award, researchers will create a corpus annotating negations and positive interpretations across domains and genres. They will also develop computational methods to automatically generate positive interpretations from...
